That type of adapter will not work for the Family Basic Keyboard, as the signals that it uses do not exist on the NES controller ports. It is possible to build a converter like this, but it is a lot of work and requires making a custom connector.

Xious: I have found pinouts to both connectors, do you know how to connect them together to make the Family Basic to work?

This is from my pre-design notes and includes pin numbers)

FC DA-15                                           NES 48-Pin DSub EXP
1 – Ground                                           2 - Ground
2 - Sound Output                                 21 – Audio Out
3 – IRQ                                               14 - /IRQ
4 - Port #1 (D4) 4017R.4                    18 – Joypad #2 (D4)
5 - Port #1 (D3) 4017R.3                    16 – Joypad #2 (D3)
6 - Port #1 (D2) 4017R.2                    15 – Joypad #2 (D2)
7 - Port #1 (D1) 4017R.1                    20 – Joypad #2 (D1)
8 - Port #1 (D0) 4017R.0                    19 – Joypad #2 (D0)
9 - Port #1 CLK 4017R.E                   11 – /OE Joypad #2
10 - Out2 4016WR.2                           45 – Out2
11 - Out1 4016WR.1                           44 – Out1
12 - Out0 4016WR.0                           43 – Out0
13 - Port #0 (D1) 4016R.1                  12 – Joypad #1 D1
14 - Port #0 CLK        4016R.E          37 – /OE Joypad #1
15 - +5VDC                                        1 – +5VDC (Out)

That should be all that you need.

Wonderfull! Thank you!

[Xious]

No worries. As I recall, credit goes to Kevin Horton for documenting the NES EXP port. I added some annotations and made some alterations to the signal descriptions (e.g. addresses). I put this pinout comparison on NESDev some time back for general use.

The major confusion people tend to encounter is the Port X vs. Joystick X on pinouts, so I annotated the exact registers and what function each pin allows. I also have a copy of the FC BASIC Keyboard schematics here and here. These are not made by me, but by Enri. Note that the keyboard uses all of the EXP port signals!

My schematics are usually in full colour, so they.re easy to spot.

Thanks for the info, yes, I have seen those schematics before, and since I have finally found a distributor for the needed 15 pin famicom expansion port cable (tototek used to sell these but they are out of stock) (polish website, shrinks your browser ) and I'm awaiting a Family Keyboard, maybe I'll build myself a cable keyb-to-NES (or for somebody else, if needed).

I just hope that cable has all the pins connected...

[Xious]

For this project, and DA-15 connector will work, as long as all fifteen pins have connections to them. You can build a D-Sub hood easily, as unlike the female connector, which is of an unusual length, the male end can be the industry standard depth.

Let us know how it works out.

[jpx72]

I have lots of different connectors to use for the NES exp port, hopefully one would fit.
The cable is ordered (thanks MWK!) and hopefully it will have all pins connected...

[Xious]

You want an 48-pin ISA connector: You will need to cut it down to fit, as the standard connector is too thick. I saw them in half after trimming them to ensure the best connection, soldering them at a slight angle to give them a spring-style fit.

That should be all that you need. 

You list pin 21 as 'Audio Out' but NES Dev says pin 22 - is this a typo?
